Its the way he tells 'em - genius. We've had enough of polished, career comedians - a different kind of humour. nitter.gq/ScottLimbrick/status/7…

Sign the petition to stop the privatisation of the British Library.
At a time when public spaces are being fenced off for corporate interests, any attempt to privatise the British Library represents an attack on the public's right to accessible, free and communal spaces. vist.ly/5savt

Cressida Dick working for Palantir raises the same concerns I’ve expressed about Tom Watson.
What does a company gain when it recruits a former Labour deputy leader or a former Metropolitan Police commissioner? Their experience, yes. But also their contacts, influence and the authority associated with the offices they held.
This ‘revolving door’ corrodes confidence in politics, public service generally and in institutions such as the police.

If true this is outrageous.
It seems that Andy Burnham’s latest version of ending 40 years of neoliberalism is handing Thames Water over to US hedge funds.
Labour have stopped even pretending to serve us or our communities anymore.
Labour stand for the hedge funds.
🚨BREAKING
The Financial Times has just revealed that Thames Water’s US hedge fund creditors are close to agreeing a ‘last and final’ deal to take over the company.
A handover to US hedge funds. A continuation of the privatised chaos. And a huge reward for the people who have run our water into the ground.
The deal would see them allowed to pollute our rivers and seas without consequence - in exchange for an upfront payoff.
This deal is absolutely outrageous, in every regard.
112 MPs have already called for special administration of Thames Water.
A cross-party group of MPs - who scrutinise the Environment Department - have said that the creditors’ proposal should be rejected and Thames Water should be brought into special administration.
And the former Environment Secretary rejected a previous version of the creditors’ deal in June. This new version is not better in any way.
@andyburnham promised to reverse Thatcher’s legacy of privatisation. He promised public control of life’s essentials.
This really is the moment of truth for Andy Burnham. If he allows the water supply of 16 million people to be sold off to US hedge funds - how can we take him seriously about any of his promises?
NO DEAL to the Thames Water creditors. Special administration now.

Zac, it’s pretty clear you’re party is the only entity who actually wants to make millions of lives better instead of making millionaires & billionaires even richer while simultaneously giving Israel carte Blanche to slaughter Palestinian kids

This is asset stripping a la “vulture capitalism.” Labour leaders will be rewarded handsomely once they leave office. See how wealthy Tony Blair is?

Reasonable people say it plainly. It is not about being anti-corporations but about making sure that big corporations (big tech, big pharma, big insurance, big consultancies) do not control markets and especially politics.

In 2010, I learned about the Khan Younis massacre through #JoeSacco’s Footnotes in Gaza. I carried the book on a trip to Gaza. At Erez, a UN official asked me to cover it-lest we upset the Israeli guards.
How long have we normalised Palestinian massacres by keeping them unspoken?
Today marked the 70th anniversary of the Khan Yunis Massacre.
On November 3, 1956, during the Tripartite Aggression against Egypt, Israeli forces killed hundreds of Palestinians in Khan Yunis. According to figures documented by UNRWA, 275 Palestinians were killed, including 140 refugees and 135 local residents. Just nine days later, another 111 people were reported killed in Rafah, bringing the combined reported death toll to 386.
Palestinian survivors described horrifying acts of brutality: Israeli soldiers raiding homes, dragging men into the streets, separating fathers and sons from their families, lining up unarmed civilians against walls, and opening fire with machine guns. Witnesses also described bodies lying in the streets and grieving families unable to bury their loved ones because of military curfews.
Palestinian historian Salman Abu Sitta recounts how Israeli soldiers rounded up men from Khan Yunis, including teachers, shopkeepers, farmers, and other ordinary civilians, and marched them toward the historic Barquq Castle. According to his account, soldiers lined the men against a wall near a school, ordered them to jump across a ditch, and opened fire with machine guns, turning the ditch into a grave.
Palestinian historian Ihsan Khalil al-Agha documented a higher death toll, estimating approximately 520 victims of executions and other killings during the broader assault and occupation. Survivor testimonies also describe women being left to collect the bodies of their husbands, sons, and brothers and bury them in mass graves.
The attached image shows some of the victims.

Ukraine is essentially a giant CIA base, posing as a sovereign nation.
The CIA moved into Ukraine after the fall of the Soviet Union, looking to take advantage of the lawless and destabilized country, using it as an offshore proxy, outside the scope of US oversight.
It began with the Nunn-Lugar Act in 1991, and then carried on into 2005, when then Senators Obama and Lugar visited Ukraine, to inspect the former Soviet bio, chemical, and nuclear facilities (pictured below), and then added Ukraine to the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, and began turning these former Soviet facilities into “defensive research facilities”, which opened the door for US contractors to establish their foothold in Ukraine, and set up their money laundering and racketeering operations, under the guise of “foreign aid”.
Then the CIA funded Nazi militant groups in Ukraine which led to the outbreak of civil war in 2014 in the Donbas. Amidst the chaos, the US State Department, via Victoria Nuland, leveraged the situation to install US-loyal puppets, including the infamous leaked phone call between her and fellow State Department bureaucrat Geoffrey Pyatt, about ensuring “their guy” Yatsenuik, was installed as Prime Minister. The State Department, in tandem with the CIA, covertly took control of Ukraine via Color Revolution in 2014.
Putin recognized this. He knew that the US had destabilized and taken control of Ukraine, and recognized that the US were building a proxy army on his border, by funding, training, and supplying Ukraine with weapons, and trying to bring them into NATO. This was a red line for Putin, as he has said for decades. Russia have been invaded from the West too many times before, and will not tolerate a hostile standing army and long-range missiles on their border. Just like the US didn’t like it when Russia tried to put nukes in Cuba in the 60’s, Russia doesn’t like the US trying to bring armies and weapons to Ukraine.
Essentially, Ukraine is an unofficial US territory and NATO member, and the Deep State do not want to lose out on their cash cow and strategic asset that is Ukraine, hence why they continue to send hundreds of billions of our tax dollars to protect Ukraine’s border. They are using Ukraine as a laundry mat to funnel in hundreds of billions for the war machine, and also covering up their extreme criminality in Ukraine, including crimes against humanity for bioweapon development, human trafficking, drug trafficking, etc. All the things they can’t get away with stateside, they do in Ukraine.
If the public knew the truth about the origins of US involvement in Ukraine, they would NEVER have supported sending a single penny to Ukraine. The narrative that Russia attacked Ukraine in 2022 “unprovoked”, is war propaganda to make it appear Ukraine are the righteous defenders in order to garner your support, when in reality, The US started this conflict, they are the ones who brought war to Putin’s doorstep, and the US are the ones perpetuating the war by continuing to fund and supply Ukraine.
Putin does not want to conquer all of Europe, he just wants NATO off of his border, and justice for US development of weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine, namely, gene-specific biological weapons.
The Cold War never truly ended.

🔴@Helen_Whately, Shadow Secretary of State for Work & Pensions, has claimed £2 MILLION expenses in 10 years.
£300,000 relates to her own travel and accommodation - yet she only lives 50 miles from London.
Her boss, @KemiBadenoch has 3 children, claims £2.7K per month to rent a 6 bed farmhouse & tried to claim expenses for a family holiday.
The country can't afford these @Conservatives.

Un 10 de noviembre de 1975, la ONU declaraba al sionismo como una ideología racista igualándola con el apartheid de Sudáfrica y llamaba a su eliminación en la sociedad, entendiéndose como una forma de discriminación racial.
Pocos saben que durante más de 15 años, el sionismo fue declarado oficialmente en el mundo como una ideología criminal que debía ser eliminada de la sociedad, una declaración aprobada por la Asamblea General de la ONU a través de la resolución 3379.
Sin embargo, los sionistas usaron sus grupos de presión en Estados Unidos para que los yankis presionaran a sus países lacayos en Europa y se anulara en 1991 la resolución de la ONU, consiguiendo blanquear y normalizar el brutal colonialismo que se vive en Palestina.

The original version of Monopoly was actually designed to demonstrate the dangers of allowing private individuals to accumulate vast amounts of land and wealth, and how this leads to inequality and economic exploitation.
It was originally called The Landlord's Game, invented by an American woman named Elizabeth Magie in 1903.
Interestingly, the game was intended to make the case for a very different economic system from the one that the modern Monopoly game appears to celebrate.
Magie was influenced by the economic ideas of Henry George.
George argued that:
•Land is a natural resource that nobody individually created.
•Individuals should be able to own and develop property, but the value arising from land scarcity and location is largely created by society.
•Landowners can become wealthy simply by controlling valuable land and collecting rent.
•This concentrates wealth in the hands of a relatively small number of people.
His proposed solution was a Single Tax on the unimproved value of land, rather than taxing people's labour and productive activity.
The original game had two different sets of rules
This is the particularly interesting part.
Magie designed two ways of playing:
Landlord's Game - 1906 - Images
Monopolist rules
Players bought land, charged rent and attempted to accumulate wealth. Eventually, one player would dominate while the others became increasingly impoverished.
This demonstrated the consequences of concentrated property ownership.
The Landlord's Game — Base Camp Math
Prosperity rules
Players could benefit collectively from economic activity. The aim was to distribute the benefits of land ownership more fairly, rather than allowing one player to monopolise everything.
This illustrated George's alternative economic philosophy.
The contrast was deliberate: she wanted players to experience the difference between an economy dominated by landlords and one in which the benefits of land were shared more widely.
This is what happens when people mistake a board game for an economics education.
Monopoly has a fixed amount of wealth, no innovation, no investment, no productivity growth, and no new businesses. Capitalism has spent centuries doing precisely what Monopoly cannot, creating wealth that didn't previously exist.
The richest people in 1900 couldn't buy an antibiotic, a smartphone, or a commercial flight. Today, ordinary people have access to things kings couldn't have imagined.
Monopoly is a game about acquiring existing assets. Capitalism is an economic system that allows people to create entirely new ones.
If your understanding of economics comes from passing Go and collecting $200, perhaps sit this one out.
